Morristown Memorial Hospital Hospital
A few things that annoyed me to no end:
1. Every hour a nurse is bothering you while sleeping to take your vital signs or to inject you in the stomach with a needle or something. I was woken up every hour by the nurses staff. I would have preferred that they make me rest so I can recover.
2. I had a nice lady in my room but her IV machine kept on going off. The nurse staff took about 25-30 minutes to come & turn it off. Oh my god. How annoying.
3. Everytime I called that I needed help to go to the restroom, it took the staff forever & a day to get to me. I timed them once & it took them a half hour to come from my first request.
The Staff was great!!!
My biggest complaint was the old TV remote control. The TV button was too close to the nurse call button. I couldn't appologize enough for ringing the nurse when all I wanted to do was change the TV channel.
The nurses were taking care of a lot of people, so I also made sure that I called the nurse way ahead of when I needed to use the bathroom. This gave the nurse time to come in and get me out of my pressure boots. And also time for me to hobble to the bathroom. No accidents here.. :-)
The only reason I rated restful and privacy as average was because my roommate was very ill (not a WLS patient) and she had all kinds of medical people in and out at all hours and therefore I got no rest the first night. Had my bed been by the bathroom I would have gotten more privacy...but that's how it goes. I was very pleased with the care I recieved
